Is it good to build a high traffic sites using CakePHP? I am using CakePHP for several projects, but they’re very low traffic. Any examples of such site or how can I improve the performance?

This video probably sums up the answer for you (and gives a lot of good details / information) on “CakePHP at massive scale on a budget“
It talks about how they use CakePHP on VERY HIGH traffic site, how it worked, and how it ran…etc.
I believe it was on 1.2 or 1.3 as well, which is significantly slower than 2.0, so – yes – CakePHP is a completely valid option for high-traffic sites. Obviously sites like Facebook will have their own lighter, in-house framework, but – I think that’s a problem not worrying about until you reach that point (and by then you’ll be a millionaire anyway and won’t care) 🙂
